\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are so very proud to be able to \u00a0meet one of the top bicycle accident attorneys in the nation, Shaana Rahman, \u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As our exciting line up of booth exhibitors grows, she will be joined by\u00a0 <\/span>Timothy R. Brummer and his\u00a0 <\/span>Lightning Cycle Dynamics<\/strong> group, the makers of the world’s fastest bicycle and also Ken’s Bike-Ski-Board<\/strong>, a bent dealer here in Davis that is widely respected as one of the top bike shops in western America.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a very strong likelihood that you will get to enjoy nutritious, organic pizza at our event. Hot Italian pizza<\/strong> just needs to formalize their yes with us next week\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Too our \u00a0live music add\u00a0the inspiring words of cyclist and internationally acclaimed educator, Tilahun Yilma<\/strong> as well as those of Davis cyclist,\u00a0 <\/span>Car Free Mayor Robb Davis<\/strong> and the Bike Capital of America will be strutting its stuff in a most very notable way. !!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ScreenT<\/span><\/strong>he following Saturday will find cyclists meeting at a handful of different bike shop locations here in Davis to ride to the state capital in Sacramento 15.2 miles away. Our ride will use the Yolo Causeway, a flood river plain, 3 miles wide and 40 miles long, that can handle, if need be, as much volume as the Mississippi River. It is this piece of real estate we cross over on our way to Sacramento<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>It was through what has now become a bird sanctuary and flood plain protected by a series of dikes and floodgates, that in 1884 Thomas Stevens walked his\u00a0 <\/span>HiWheel bicycle on the railroad tracks under a mile away off\u00a0 <\/span>in the distance. Instead of taking nearly a day to do so, as did Stevens, we will use the bike lane that has been cantilevered off of the same interstate 80, the nations principal car highway, that connects all the way from San Francisco to New York City, . As we use this Mayors’ Ride relay leg to call for our San Francisco to Washington DC Greenway, we will also be under scoring some of the ways we feel this historic stretch can be improved. If you go to the web page<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0you will see our wish list. One of the items there is a roof covering for the cantilevered bike path. This roof covering could pay for itself as a solar panel that will generate electricity! In addition we foresee the possibility of a sound wall here<\/span><\/p>\n

Once we get off the causeway history continues as we enter W. Capitol Ave. on our way for another three or 4 miles to the state capital. This road was part of the old Lincoln Highway that connected New York\u00a0 <\/span>City with San Francisco all the way back in 1927. And much of the original concrete roadbed remains! Once again a wish list is in order here. We would like to see West Sacramento mayor, Chris Cabaldon, a once very active cyclist himself,\u00a0 <\/span>keep this stretch better street swept and the bike lane striping on it kept fresh. Nor would interpretive signage hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our reward might be the chance to be received by the Governor of California Jerry Brown<\/strong> himself. From 2002 to 2005, when he when he was the mayor of Oakland, he acknowledged me personally in Proclamations for his city as a native son of Oakland\u00a0 <\/span>and the author of Awake Again<\/span><\/p>\n

This ride is still taking shape. For sure, we will be meeting at Ken’s bike shop at 8:30. Go to our\u00a0web page<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>to see what other shops have been added as we develop all of this\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s even a chance we might be able to get the Capital Corridor<\/strong>\u00a0to sponsor a train ride back<\/span><\/p>\n

O<\/span><\/strong>n the Sunday the day after we ride to the capital, we will ride to the capital again. Only this time from Folsom on the American River Parkway! Details of course as that ride develops\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

N<\/span><\/strong>ext<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Monday, March 13<\/strong>, I will be speaking at the Davis Bike Club’s monthly meeting. I will be talking about a lot of when you were seeing here as I invite the DBC to help me make the national bicycle Greenway real here in Davis. The publics invited it starts at 7 PM at the vets center located at Davis high school on 14th St. in Davis California. Please come if you can to support that which I will be placing before the Davis Bike Club.<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/strong><\/span>n closing for this installment of our 2017 national Mayors’ Ride newsletter, CAR FREE Davis Mayor Robb Davis<\/strong> has agreed to do a podcast. He is engulfed in turmoil right now but we are hoping we can move his timing\u00a0 <\/span>forward in getting a chance to speak with him soon!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
